BILL & TOM --
I'M GLAD TO SEE AN INTEREST IN STEVE & THAT YOU BOTH HAVE SOME PIECES OF THE PUZZLE.
A CLEAR AND MORE ACCURATE RECORD OF THIS ARTIST IS SORELY NEEDED --- PARTLY BECAUSE FACTS WILL DISPLACE MOST OF THE CHITTERING ON PARRINO'S SALES--- THIS ISSUE ,AND DISPARAGING THE GAGOSIAN ENTRY, BOUNCE AROUND IN A RELATIVE VACUUM DEVOID OF ALL BUT SOME WORN MARKET TID-BIT OR AUCTION RESULT
FOR EXAMPLE ; IT'S TRUE THAT AFTER A HOT STREAK IN THE 80'S , PARRINO SOLD FEW PAINTINGS IN THE 90'S OR THE 00'S WHETHER IN NY OR EUROPE
STEVE WAS FIERCELY LOYAL TO A SMALL GROUP OF DEALERS WHO-- FOR A VARIETY OF SPECIFIC REASONS-- DID NOT PRODUCE SALES FOR HIM
HOW DID HE SURVIVE ? WHAT PAID THE BILLS ? AS IT HAPPENS I KNOW SOME OF THAT STORY AND I CAN TELL YOU IT IS IRRELEVANT. WHAT WE NEED IS : TO KNOW ABOUT THE SHOWS ! --LIKE THE GREAT DANNY NEWBURG SHOW {1993 ?} --- JOHN GIBSON -- THE NICKAS HISTORY --
THE PERFORMANCE AT PAULA COOPER--- COLLABORATION WITH CADY NOLAND---- STEVE DI BENEDETTO --- MIKE SCOTT --- THE GENEVA HISTORY --THE LYON HISTORY AND ON AND ON
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CAREER - THE WORK ; WE SEE A MASTER IN NEED OF A GREAT DEAL OF RESEARCH AND A MAJOR AMERICAN RETROSPECT --WE'RE WORKING ON IT, CAN YOU GUYS HELP ? YOU WOULD BE WELCOME !
BACK , IN CLOSING, TO GAGOSIAN ----- YOU MAY KNOW BUT I'LL TELL YOU ANYWAY THAT THEY CAN MAKE WAY MORE MONEY ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN PARRINO ; THEY'RE IN IT BECAUSE THEY RECOGNISED THE POWER OF THE WORK ,....... THEYR'E IN IT FOR THE PRESTIGE !
